Abstract

In this short note, using G\"unther's volume comparison theorem and Yokota's gap theorem on complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons, we prove that for any complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton (Mn,g,f)(M^{n},g,f) with sectional curvature K(g)<AK(g)<A and Volf(M)v{\rm Vol}_{f}(M)\geq v for some uniform constant A,vA,v, there exists a small uniform constant ϵn,A,v>0\epsilon_{n,A,v}>0 depends only on n,An, A and vv, if the scalar curvature Rϵn,A,vR\leq \epsilon_{n,A,v}, then (M,g,f)(M,g,f) is isometric to the Gaussian soliton (Rn,gE,x24)(\mathbb{R}^{n}, g_{E}, \frac{|x|^{2}}{4}).
